Start
early.
End
strong.
A season is only as strong as its start – and only as rewarding as how it ends
Nichino has been supporting peanut farmers for generations with proven, focused crop protection solutions.
Working alongside growers, we develop practical programs that help manage disease pressure and support strong, reliable yields.
Disease doesn’t wait – and neither should you.
Start Early. End Strong. A simple, proven approach to peanut disease management: build a strong foundation for protection early, then reinforce it when pressure is highest. Planning means preventing problems before they start – and being ready to act decisively later in the season.
When growers follow this approach, the result is reduced risk, fewer unnecessary applications, and stronger crop value at harvest.
TRIALS 2025
Results from the 2025 Convoy® and Umbra® peanut trials reinforce a critical principle in disease management: strong seasons are built on disciplined timing and dependable performance, not complexity.
Two proven tools.
Full-season confidence.
Umbra® and Convoy® work together to protect peanuts from first application through harvest – delivering reliable disease control when it matters most.
Disease Pressure Builds Over Time.
Not a single event – a season-long challenge.
Both white mold and leaf spots are always present during the cropping cycle, environmental pressure increases their severity as the season progresses. Early infections establish the foundation for later damage, making the use of quality products early in the season critical.
A full-season approach, starting early and finishing strong, always delivers the most consistent results.
White Mold Starts Before You See It.
By the time symptoms appear above the canopy, disease pressure may already be impacting yield below the soil surface.
Discover the four principles behind stronger soilborne disease management and learn how leading growers are building more resilient, season-long protection:
